Parking Regulations Handbook

Welcome to Hartwick for what will be a very rewarding and successful year. The campus parking regulations for 2015-16 are outlined on the pages of this Web site for your information and future reference. Each member of the Hartwick community should be aware of the regulations, as they are enforced to keep the campus safe and accessible to students, visitors, faculty, and staff.

As you begin this year on campus, please be reminded of the following:

15 MPH - Entire Campus

Illegally Parked or Operated VehiclesTo ensure accessibility and safety, there is a zero-tolerance policy concerning illegally parked or operated vehicles. This means that all such vehicles, regardless of the owner, will be ticketed. When possible, anyone receiving three or more tickets will be sent a warning letter advising them that if they receive three more tickets, for a total of six, whether paid or unpaid, they will lose their on-campus driving and parking privileges for the academic year. Copies of these warning letters also will be mailed home to the parents of students.

Lost Parking PrivilegesOwners of vehicles who have lost their parking privileges and who illegally bring a vehicle onto campus will be ticketed and the vehicle booted or towed. In order to have the boot removed, the operator of the vehicle will be required to pay a $50 fine and the amount of the ticket. Failure to do so, or if the booted vehicle remains on campus for more than 48 hours, will result in the vehicle being towed away at the owner’s expense and the booting and ticket fines added to the violator’s outstanding balance.
